    There was a certain man and he was very brave. One night the man and a few friends were playing cards and they bet that the brave man would not go up to the Churchyard and take out a skull. The man went up to the Churchyard and took out a skull and brought an it home and said "Here is the skull". And a voice said "here is the body". Then the light went out and when they put it on again the man was dead.
